May 25, 2012 - Only seven months to Christmas!!... ;-)

Today was a good day for Jason, and not because he only had one appointment (with PT), though that was kind of nice. It was because after the appointment with PT was done we headed over to the galley and had lunch; we leisurely headed back to the house; and, just relaxed for a couple of hours. Afterward we headed back over to the day care center, where the girls are enrolled, and watched a performance that Stacy was in. I got a couple of good pictures, so I will need to get those on the blog, but for right now just know that she looked great and in just a matter of a couple of days of being part of the class, she was one of the better performers. Jason was a very proud Papa watching his little girl do the Hula and sign to the audience (the audience was about 10 parents). I have to give credit to those teachers, they put a great deal of effort into getting the kids to do the dance, and making it coordinated.

After the dance was over I got Jason back to the house and then headed over to the airport to pick up Linda. She flew in today on Southwest, and was supposed to be arriving at about 15:35 (3:35pm). What I didn't know was that they had changed their schedule so that they didn't arrive until almost 16:00 (4pm). That means I was driving around and around, waiting for them to come in for nearly a half an hour. Actually, what I did was, I called back to Jason and asked him to look up on the web, what the Southwest schedule was for the flight. When he told me I was both relieved and a little put out. I wouldn't have felt so pushed to leave Stacy's class room if I'd known the schedule had changed. But hey, its the airline industry and they don't seem to care about passengers like they used to; and, Southwest is supposed to be one of the better ones.

Linda, Jason and I had dinner together, and we'll get to see the girls tomorrow - Linda is very anxious to see them. Thank you, all for your continued prayers and support, and please say a little extra prayer for the girls as I am concerned that they might have caught a cold along the way.

    Oh, Daddy Jason & Grandpa George, you need a video camera now! With the gals doing performances and all? Santa must know how good you have been. THAT is the understatement of the year.

    Glad Lin made it down safely. When I finally got home I heard of some confusion at JFK, glad it all worked out.

    Have a fab weekend! Give the gals a hug from me.

    All our best,
    Karen & Rob
    Livermore Friends

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a ...

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next....

Happy St. Patty's Day!

To day was a good day for Jason, as they removed the breathing tube from his mouth and throat, and his medications and pain meds were lowered. All this lead to him being able to begin talking to us, and have visitors, other than from family. On top of that, Bridgette came with the girls today (she went a short time ago to go pick them up), so he'll be able to see and speak with them as well. Of course tomorrow is Friday, and he is scheduled for another surgery (I'll talk more about that later) so we will need to go visit with him early in the morning, and then later tomorrow we will be able to visit with him again. He was visited by a bunch of different doctors with all of them asking him the same basic questions of, "How are you feeling? Where do you have pain? Can you tell me where you are?" etc., etc. Then came the psychiatrist, who wanted to be sure of his mental abilities and neurological issues. He began with those same questions then asked, "Do you know wh...
